Researchers worldwide have been trying to develop techniques to prevent DDoS attacks or rapidly intervene in order to reduce their negative effects. An important step in counteracting such attacks is the prompt collection of feedback from users to determine their impact and come up with targeted solutions.

A new "threat actor" tied to Uzbekistan's State Security Service has been unmasked by threat researchers at Kaspersky Lab. And the unmasking wasn't very hard to do, since, as Kim Zetter reports for Vice, the government group used Kaspersky antivirus software—which sent binaries of the malware it was developing back to Kaspersky for analysis. At least they were trying to protect themselves from malware

GitHub, while the largest and best repository for finding code you can pinch for your own apps and services, is sometimes terrible at surfacing relevant results. Do their work so they can reap the glory. Win-Win! (both for them)

I like GitHub, but it is very much a write-only site.

One of the contributions Google is working on for the upstream Linux kernel is a new "sanitizer". I guess they needed more eyeballs after all?
And I guess to be honest, who doesn't? They go so well with tongue of newt

In the kernel?! I guess it depends on how they define it, but system calls should usually be uninterruptible. In the broader sense, the kernel probably has a pile of threads that are just as susceptible to the vagaries of haphazard priority/preemptive scheduling as any others. I wonder if this testing is on an SMP platform, which Linux would never have originally anticipated. This would explain all of the race conditions still waiting to be discovered.

Wow, it's almost like Linux is something slapped together by amateurs in their spare time.

“The operating system is no longer the most important layer for us,” was the message from Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella yesterday. Doors? Window coverings? Gutters and fascia?

I think that if the last few years have proven nothing else, Nadella is a Linux fanboi. It's sort of like a Twilight Zone episode.

Microsoft has announced plans to offer C++/CLI in .NET Core 3.1. This would only be offered for Windows applications; you won’t be able to use C++/CLI for Linux or OSX. "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."
So, .NET Core is cross-platform. Unless you want to do WinForms. Or C++. Or {whatever else I'm missing}.

.NET Core....for Windows.
Well, it sure is a good thing that there's not already a .NET platform still in active development that exclusively targets Windows.

You need to drink more Koolaid. .net core 45 is the officially designated successor to .net framework 4.8. That it's not a feature complete replacement be ed.
This is one of the larger missing parts; and I think was the only one left MS isn't saying they won't port over because it's a Legacy Bad Idea (tm) like Webforms. The old Non-generic .net 1.x containers and App Domains were listed on the not coming because Legacy Bad Idea (tm); not sure if they still are. Non-generic collections are at least easy to replace with List<object> , etc even if you don't want to do a proper job of modernzing your code.

C++/CLI is hardly "Legacy" nor a "Bad Idea".
That it's Windows-only is due to the fact C++/CLI extends the C++ syntax and is only supported by Microsoft's compilers. There is ongoing work in GCC++ to support it which I believe will gain steam once MS releases this in .Net Core 3.1.
OTOH, there are opensource compilers that target standard C++ to .Net Core. Some even documented in articles here on CP.

In your case might I suggest more coffee and a closer reread.

I'm saying that I think with C++/CLI porting in progress, everything else on the not being ported list are the legacy bad ideas they've previously explicitly said won't be ported.
